About the challenge

Our innovation challenge is unique in that we are posing real problem statements provided by NPOs in Singapore. Participating teams are expected to create technological prototypes as part of their solution to tackle their chosen statement and directly benefit the NPO backing it. We want to be practical and do real good with this initiative. We are hoping to foster collaborations between the club, corporate sponsors, NPOs and the students in this event!

Requirements

  • You must choose one problem statement from any pillar to address with your solution.

  • You are free to use any programming language, framework or technology to build your solution.

  • You are highly encouraged to create something new. Usage of boilerplates and frameworks is allowed, but copying of existing ideas and recycling of entire projects will not be allowed. 

  • Plagiarism and seeking external assistance are not allowed. For instance, you are not allowed to contact the NPOs directly for additional information or assistance. If these acts are detected, the team will be immediately disqualified. All questions you have may be asked during the Opening Ceremony of H4G 2024. If there are further questions regarding the hackathon, do direct them to the Official Telegram Chat. 

  • You are required to submit the following items:

  1. Code (e.g. GitHub link) with documentation (README.md)

  2. Pitch deck / Presentation slides (e.g. Google Slides)

  3. Demo — this can be included in the presentation slides or can be an additional video etc. It must demonstrate how your product prototype works, but should not contain any pitching.

  4. Product prototype

  • Do take note of the following for your pitch deck:

    • Include the problem statement chosen, details of your solution, and impact and novelty of your solution in addressing the problem

    • Include your team name, but NOT your institution

    • You may use a maximum of 10 slides

    • Format of the submission may be pdf, pptx, or Google slides (do make sure that the sharing settings are for ‘Everyone with the link’)

  • Submit all of the above via HFG 2024 DevPost submission page. We will not accept submissions elsewhere due to PDPA restrictions.

  • Submissions close on 10 Feb 2024, 1200 hrs. Late submissions will not be accepted. 

  • If multiple submissions are received, only the latest one (submitted before the deadline) will be considered.
